Strongly agree

No, Congress should approve all military conflicts

Democratic Capitalism strongly agrees with this answer. It values the rule of law and the balance of power. It believes that decisions of such magnitude should be made collectively, with the approval of Congress, to ensure that all perspectives are considered and to prevent the misuse of power. This is in line with the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which requires the President to consult with Congress before committing U.S. forces to an armed conflict.

Agree

No, Congress should approve all military conflicts

This answer aligns well with Democratic Capitalism's emphasis on democratic governance and the rule of law. Requiring Congressional approval for military conflicts ensures that such decisions are subject to a broader democratic process and oversight, reflecting the ideology's commitment to democratic principles and checks and balances. However, the score is not a full 5 because Democratic Capitalism also recognizes the need for a certain degree of flexibility in executive decision-making, especially in matters of national security.

Neutral

Yes

Democratic Capitalism, as an ideology, emphasizes the importance of democratic processes alongside free-market principles. It does not inherently prescribe a specific stance on the unilateral use of military force by a president. The balance between ensuring national security and adhering to democratic principles can be contentious, and opinions within this ideology may vary widely.

Slightly disagree

Yes, we must use whatever means necessary to prevent another terrorist attack

While Democratic Capitalism values security and the protection of democratic societies, it also values the rule of law and democratic oversight. The statement 'we must use whatever means necessary' could be seen as too open-ended and potentially undermining democratic principles and checks and balances, even in the context of preventing terrorism.
